I am a heavy Exchange Email user. Is there a better email client/App than the stock one? Gmail is nice, but is there a way to get exchange to work in Gmail? I though Gmail changed this a year ago, but Exchange is not an option during set-up.

I would say try Fleksy keyboard and its very accurate and has some useful gestures to correct or add words to custom dictionary plus the delete option is quite good since its swipe from right to left. For email I feel stock app is quite good and rich in features but if you still want to try another one then try outlook app from Microsoft since its free and available on Google store.

I'm a big fan of the Google keyboard. Has all the features and is just very solid, reliable and intuitive to use.
If just need bare bones messaging then Google messenger is good. Textra, chomp SMS, or evolve SMS if you want a few more features.
To add an exchange account in gmail you need to first install exchange services. Here is the apk from the latest m preview http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-...ange-services/

I'm going to suggest SwiftKey, I've tried several others and always end up back on Swiftkey.

As far as email goes, NineMail is the best I've found for my exchange mail. Many options for customization and the developer is very active with updates to add functionality and fixes.

I'm on Verizon so my default messaging app is Verizon's messages+. It is an amazing text app, very customizable and will also work on my tablet and pc. So, unless you're on Verizon I have no suggestions for texting. If you are on Verizon and not liking the app, I challenge you to spend some time learning the settings and give it a real chance.
